Redding 0.255-inch 73-Style Steel Neck Bushing

The Redding 0.255-inch 73-Style Steel Neck Bushing is a 0.255-inch neck sizing bushing from Redding (brand part no. 73255). It uses Redding’s older 73-style bushing pattern, which fits the bushing holder on Redding’s earlier Type S and Competition die bodies. Reloaders use interchangeable bushings like this one to size the case neck down just enough for the bullet to seat with the right amount of tension, rather than over-working the brass with a fixed-diameter neck. That control matters most for precision rifle shooters chasing tight, repeatable groups at the range or in competition, where consistent neck tension shows up directly in ammunition consistency.

Key Specifications

• Bushing outside sizing diameter is 0.255-inch, the dimension that sets how far the die sizes down the case neck.
• Built from hardened steel, Redding’s 73-style pattern for a bushing that holds its size through repeated resizing cycles.
• Drops into Redding‘s interchangeable bushing-style neck dies so you can change neck tension without buying a new die.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does bushing diameter control? Bushing diameter sets how far the die sizes down the case neck, which controls how much tension grips the bullet after seating. A properly matched bushing sizes the neck just enough for consistent bullet pull without overworking the brass.

Will this bushing fit any Redding bushing die? It’s sized to Redding’s bushing-style neck die system, so confirm your specific die accepts this bushing pattern before ordering.
